The article says that "the work is said to have been transferred from the Ethnography Museum of the Golestān Palace."

I'm only able to read the first page of the article, and I noticed that in footnote 5 it mentions the Yerevan palace.

The Sovietization of Yerevan seems to have been an extremely destructive affair (at least for the older structures). But what's changed?

Right, but on the very next page the author writes, "Perhaps the most impressive [painting] of the group, by virtue of its size alone, is a painting of 9 by 5½ meters depicting A Battle of Fatḥ ʿAlī Shāh with the Russians in the Irān Bāstān Museum (Archaeological Museum) in Tehran." This is the work that I attached and which she says was transferred from the Ethnography Museum. Perhaps its original location was the Yerevan palace?
